CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The 2012 population policy of Nigeria is presumably “predicted on the right of couples and individuals to decide fully the number and spacing of their children (Orubuloye, 2000).
However its goal of reducing birth rates and associated strategies address the basic question of population policy, which is how to give society the number of children they need. One of the strategies for achieving the goals of population policies is the development of family planning programmes (Ehrlich, 2014). This is through reliance on the diffusion of ideas which are believed to increasingly play a very important role in promoting contraception (Steele, 2009).
Nigeria, as a result of deepening economic crisis, succumbed to pressure to launch its first national population on policy in 1989. This policy was aimed at reducing the population growth rate through reducing fertility from six to four children per woman by the year 2000. Since the launching of the population policy , educational and family planning programmes aimed at providing education on population issues and making modern family planning methods readily accessible to all Nigerians, are reported to have been fairly successful.(Guilfoyle, 2015).
The issue of family planning all over the World has attracted attentions due to its importance in decision making about population growth and development issues. In this wise, Geographers have become increasingly alarmed by the precipitous rise in its effects on population growth, not only in Nigeria or the United States of America, but throughout the World (Okedare, 2000). Various works and researches have also been done on perceptions and attitudes of people on family planning, but major emphases had always been placed on the role of women and the female gender approaches in many cases.
